TIME's Interview with Exiting Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The Palins were staying with Sarah's in-laws Bob and Blanche Kallstrom when the soon-to-be-ex-governor of Alaska sat down for an interview.

The Kallstroms are two of the 2,500 full-time residents of Dillingham, Alaska, and owners of the Bristol Bay Inn and a hardware store. The town's population swells to 7,000 in the summer, as it's a magnet for sport fishermen. Todd Palin grew up in a house across the street from the hardware store — a building that has since been "moved," Blanche says, to make way for another building. About 10 years ago, the Kallstroms moved into a two-story wooden house with a bright orange garage door.

The house is modern with two octagonal windows (Blanche says the carpenter who built the place was "some hippie" who put in all the windows). Sarah Palin is in a long-sleeved blue T shirt that reads "Go Slam a Salmon, Peter Pan Seafood" on the back, brown drawstring Capri cargo pants and sneakers, with a ponytail and a beautiful French manicure.

America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing.

Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented. Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges. So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be: I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy.

American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy. The ironic beauty in this plan? The Americans hit hardest will be those already struggling to make ends meet.
